For whatever reason, I can't seem to exclude records where a specific field contains strings ending in a dollar sign ($). I know $ is an end of line character so I escaped it, but this did not do anything. I continue to get these records in my result despite adding:
AND NOT FieldName:*\$
I've also tried:
AND NOT FieldName:/.*\$/
And other variations. None of them eliminate it. Any ideas?
$ is not a special character for lucene query syntax: https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html#Escaping%20Special%20Characters
Try using it as is.

We have a problem with a regular expression on hive.
We need to exclude the numbers with +37 or 0037 at the beginning of the record (it could be a false result on the regex like) and without letters or space.
We're trying with this one:
regexp_like(tel_number,'^\+37|^0037+[a-zA-ZÀÈÌÒÙ ]')
but it doesn't work.
Edit: we want it to come out from the select as true (correct number) or false.
To exclude numbers which start with +01 0r +001 or +0001 and having only digits without spaces or letters:
... WHERE tel_number NOT rlike '^\\+0{1,3}1\\d+$'
Special characters like + and character classes like \d in Hive should be escaped using double-slash: \\+ and \\d.
The general question is, if you want to describe a malformed telephone number in your regex and exclude everything that matches the pattern or if you want to describe a well-formed telephone number and include everything that matches the pattern.
Which way to go, depends on your scenario. From what I understand of your requirements, adding "not starting with 0037 or +37" as a condition to a well-formed telephone number could be a good approach.
The pattern would be like this:
Your number can start with either + or 00: ^(\+|00)
It cannot be followed by a 37 which in regex can be expressed by the following set of alternatives:
a. It is followed first by a 3 then by anything but 7: 3[0-689]
b. It is followed first by anything but 3 then by any number: [0-24-9]\d
After that there is a sequence of numbers of undefined length (at least one) until the end of the string: \d+$
Putting everything together:
^(\+|00)(3[0-689]|[0-24-9]\d)\d+$
You can play with this regex here and see if this fits your needs: https://regex101.com/r/KK5rjE/3
Note: as leftjoin has pointed out: To use this regex in hive you might need to additionally escape the backslashes \ in the pattern.
You can use
regexp_like(tel_number,'^(?!\\+37|0037)\\+?\\d+$')
See the regex demo. Details:
^ - start of string
(?!\+37|0037) - a negative lookahead that fails the match if there is +37 or 0037 immediately to the right of the current location
\+? - an optional + sign
\d+ - one or more digits
$ - end of string.
All.
I am used to programming VBA in Excel, but am new to the structures in Word.
I am working through a library of text files to update them. Many of them are either OCR documents, or were manually entered.
Each has a recurring pattern, the most common of which is unnecessary carriage returns.
For example, I am looking at several text files where there is a double return after each line. A search and replace of all double carriage returns removes all paragraph distinctions.
However, each line is approximately 30 characters long, and if I manually perform the following logic, it gives me a functional document.
If there is a double carriage return after 30+ characters, I replace them with a space.
If there were less than 30 characters prior to the double return, I replace them with a single return.
Can anyone help me with some rudimentary code that would help me get started on that? I could then modify it for each "pattern" of text documents I have.
e.g.
In this case, there are more than
thirty characters per line. And I
will keep going to illustrate this
example.
This would be a new paragraph, and
would be separated by another of
the single returns.
I want code that would return:
In this case, there are more than thirty character returns. And I will keep going to illustrate this example.
This would be a new paragraph, and would be separated by another of the single returns.
Let me know if anyone can throw something out that I can play with!
You can do this without code (which RegEx requires), simply using Word's own wildcard Find/Replace tools, where:
Find = ([!^13]{30,})[^13]{1,}
Replace = \1^32
and, to clean up the residual multi-paragraph breaks:
Find = [^13]{2,}
Replace = ^p
You could, of course, record the above as a macro...
Here is a RegEx that might work for you:
(\n\n)(?<!\.(\n\n))
The substitution is just a plain space, you can try it out (and modify / tweak it) here: https://regex101.com/r/zG9GPw/4
This 'pattern' tells the RegEx engine to look for the newline character \n which occurs x2 like this \n\n (worth noting this is from your question and might be different in your files, e.g. could be \r\n) and it assumes that a valid line break will be proceeded by a full stop: \..
In RegEx the full stop symbol is a single character wild card so it needs to be escaped with the '\' (n and r are normal characters, escaping them tells the RegEx engine they represent newline and return characters).
So... the expression is looking for a group of x2 newline characters but then uses a negative look-behind to exclude any matches where the previous character was a full stop.
Anyway, it's all explained on the site:
Here is how you could do a RegEx find and replace using NotePad++ (I'm not sure if it comes with RegEx or if a plugin is needed, either way it is easy). But you can set a location, filters (to target specific file types), and other options (such as search in sub-directories).
Other than that, as #MacroPod pointed out you could also do this with MS Word, document by document, not using any code :)
I have a localized string that looks something like this in English:
"
5 Mile(s)
5,252 Step(s)
"
My app is localized both in left-to-right and right-to-left languages so I don't want to make assumptions either about the ordering of the step(s) or about the formatting of the number (e.g. 5,252 can be 5.252 depending on user locale). So I need to account for possibilities that can include things like
Step(s) 5.252
as well as what's above.
A few other caveats
All I know is that if the Step(s) line is in there, it will be on its own line (hence in my regex I require \n at each end of the string)
No guarantee that the Mile(s) information will be in the string at all, let alone whether it will be before or after Step(s)
Here's my attempt at pattern extraction:
NSString *patternString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"\\n(([0-9,\\.]*)\s*%#|%#\s*([0-9,\\.]*))\\n",
NSLocalizedString(#"Step(s)",nil), NSLocalizedString(#"Step(s)",nil)];
There appear to be two problems with this:
XCode is indicating Unknown escape sequence '\s' for the second \s in the pattern string above
No matches are being found even for strings like the following:
0.2 Mile(s)
1,482 Step(s)
Ideally I would extract the 1,482 out of this string in a way that is localization friendly. How should I modify my regex?
as far as the regex, perhaps this approach might work - it simply matches (with named groups) each couplet of numbers in sequence, with the assumption the first is miles and the second is steps. Decimals in the . or , form are optional:
(?<miles>\d+(?:[.,]\d+)?).*?(?<steps>\d+(?:[.,]\d+)?)
(and i think it should be \\s) - i'm not an ios guy, but if you can use a regex literal it would be way more readable.
regular expression demo
First I'd like to ask - Why is Mile(s) mentioned in the question at all?
And now to my two bits - you could simply use a positive look-ahead:
^(?=.*Step\(s\))[^\d]*(\d+(?:[.,]\d+)?)
It makes sure the expected word is present on the line, and then captures the number on it, allowing for localized, optional, decimal separator and decimals. This way it doesn't matter if the numer is before, or after, the "word".
It doesn't take localization of the "word" into account, but that you seem to have handled by yourself ;)
See it here at regex101.
Your regex is close, although in Obj-C you need to double-escape the \s and (s):
^(([0-9,.]*)\\s*%#|%#\\s*([0-9,.]*))$
In your NSLocalizedString you likely also need to escape the parentheses enclosing (s):
NSString *patternString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"^(([\\d,.]+)\\s%#|%#\\s([\\d,.]+))$",
NSLocalizedString(#"Step\\(s\\)",nil), NSLocalizedString(#"Step\\(s\\)",nil)];
If you don't escape (s) then the regex engine is probably going to interpret it as a capture group.
Looking at NSLog you can see what the pattern actually reads like:
NSLog(#"patternString: %#", patternString);
Output:
patternString: ^(([\d,.]+)\sStep\(s\)|Step\(s\)\s([\d,.]+))$
Since you mentioned the Mile(s) part may not be in the string at all I'm assuming it isn't relevant to the regular expression. As I understand from the question, you just need to capture the number of steps and nothing else. On this basis, here's a modified version of your existing regex:
NSString *patternString =
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"^(?:([0-9,.]*)\\s*%#|%#\\s*([0-9,.]*))$",
NSLocalizedString(#"Step\\(s\\)",nil), NSLocalizedString(#"Step\\(s\\)",nil)];

This is based on the following tips/modifications:
Use the m (= UREGEX_MULTILINE) flag option when creating the regex to specify that ^ and $ match the start and end of each line. This is more sophisticated than using \n as it will also handle the start and end of the string where this might not be present. See here.
Always use a double backslash (\\) for regex escaping - otherwise NSString will interpret the single backslash to be escaping the next character and convert it before it gets to the regex.
Literal parentheses need to be escaped - e.g. Step\\(s\\) instead of Step(s).
Characters within a character class (i.e. anything within the [] square brackets) don't need to be escaped - so it would be . rather than \\. - the latter.
If you are using (x|y|...) as a choice and don't need it to be a capturing group, use ?: after the first parenthesis to ensure it doesn't get captured - i.e. (?:x|y|...).
I am trying to filter files using FILE_MASK parameter in EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING to reduce time searching all files in the folder (has thousands of files).
File mask I tried:
TK5_*20150811*
file name in the folder is;
TK5_Invoic_828243P_20150811111946364.xml.asc
But it exports all files to DIR_LIST table, so nothing filtered.
But when I try with;
TK5_Invoic*20150811*
It works!
What I think is it works if I give first 10 characters as it is. But in my case I do not have first 10 characters always.
Can you give me an advice on using FILE_MASK?
Haven’t tried, but this sounds plausible:
https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3470593
The * wildcard may only be used at the end of the search string.
It is not specified, what a '*' matches to, when it is not the last non-space character in the FILE parameter value.
I have set up Zend Lucene to search products_name and part_number.
This works well, however there are issues with hyphenated part numbers.
For example, if I have the part number: 5130193-00
This will return any part number with '00' at the end.
How can I make Lucene only return the exact part number?
I am using Zend_Search_Lucene_Analysis_Analyzer::setDefault(new Zend_Search_Lucene_Analysis_Analyzer_Common_TextNum_CaseInsensitive()); when indexing and searching (CaseInsensitive does not work, but that's another issue) and the part numbers are indexed as Text.
Try escaping dash with a slash: part_number:5130193\-00.
